Harlan County — текст песни (Stuart Marty)

Written by Marty Stuart

Way down in Harlan County
On a cold and lonesome night
A tormented man with a gun in his hand
Went searching for his wife
When he found her in another`s arms
She began to scream and cry
As he put the gun to his own head,
Said it`s time for me to die

Her lover begged forgiveness
From that woman`s man
I swear to you, she never wore
A ring upon her hand

Her husband took a letter
From his canvas overcoat
Then before their eyes he killed himself
And here is what he wrote
